Description

The Lowell Fire Department was once established by the state legislature on February 6, 1830. As Lowell started its climb as a center of business power, fire protection evolved from the times of the United Fire Society’s bucket brigades to organized volunteer fire companies and a full-time paid department. Lowell Firefighting features images, memorabilia, and photographs covering more than 175 years of this mill city fire department’s history. Photographs depict the work of Lowell’s firefighters through a prolific period of great fires and concrete decay. These days the Lowell Fire Department protects a city wealthy with tradition that may be reinventing itself, responding to all manner of fireplace and rescue emergencies.
